Made by adventure

PGL is shaping the next generation through extraordinary residential adventures. Our award-winning programmes help children discover the fun of being outdoors, promote wellbeing, develop character, and build real-world skills for life. Will you join the adventure?

Make a difference as an EFL Teacher at PGL

Working with kids requires energy, confidence and effort; but we guarantee it’s never, ever boring. Our EFL courses combine classroom based English language lessons, sightseeing excursions and our famous PGL outdoor activities to bring learning to life!
You’ll prepare and deliver fun and engaging lessons to our international guests, both in the classroom and outdoors, encouraging and motivating them to improve their English understanding.

You will get a 3-day induction and support from an on-site Director of Studies who will guide you through pre-written weekly or fortnightly programmes for you to deliver (A1-B2 level) with the option for you to include your own resources that meet our ‘Can Do’ philosophy. Class sizes are a maximum of 15 students.

Are you a PGL person?

You’ll need your ‘Cambridge CELTA/Trinity Cert TSEOL’ or equivalent (PGCE in English/Modern Languages, Primary PGCE leading to QTS) combined with previous experience of teaching or delivering training in a classroom setting. We will also consider other qualifications where the applicant has a minimum of 1 year's relevant EFL teaching experience.

Alongside your passion for teaching, your character is what we value most. PGL people are:

  • Passionate about adventure and the great outdoors
  • Friendly people who flourish in team environments
  • Determined and resilient (peak periods are challenging)

Above all, it’s our core values of FUN, SAFETY, QUALITY, INCLUSIVITY, TEAMWORK and RESPECT that unite us.

A place to thrive

No matter your background, ethnicity, age, neurodivergence or anything else … PGL is a place to be yourself, have fun, make lifelong friends and celebrate what makes you brilliantly unique.

Fair pay and benefits for all

  • Happy holidays! On top of your annual leave, you’ll also get your birthday off and paid volunteering days to help worthwhile causes
  • 24/7 access to our Wellbeing Hub alongside our Employee Assistance Program
  • Access to our financial wellbeing platform for financial assistance if you need it
  • Big savings and exclusive perks at 100s of high street retailers, PGL discounted holidays and 20% discount in all our on-site shops

We’re part of something bigger

We’re proud to be part of PGL Beyond, a network of educational travel brands which empowers young people to explore, grow and thrive – through exceptional experiences that go beyond the classroom. Together, we’re making a difference.
